rally for beau

A rally in support of Beau Babka who was charged with misusing public money while running for sheriff. Well, he filled up his car's gas tank using public money, so that would be $30, roughly...? Then Babka came and talked and everybody got emotional and you stand there and don't know what to think and in my opinion that's a good thing. There are at least two sides to nearly everything and it's good to be reminded of that.
